I'm beginning to like more and more watches coming out of China. And not the silly ones I review here but rather names like Red Star, Sugess, Seagull and others, who make some nice pieces. But there are a lot of other, lesser-known Chinese manufacturers who are scrambling for the US dollar and some are putting forth good-looking products, but the names...the names! PARNSRPE, Drip Letter, Mysterious Code, Bobo Bird, RabbitGoo (not joking)...they're not even trying.
Once the Chinese learn about branding and choosing brand names that make sense or evoke emotion, then I think we'll see quicker adoption of Chinese-made watches. The solution is easy. Guys, please hire a well-qualified American or Englishman to go over the names you put on watches marketed to us!
I don't know about you, but sometimes I'll see a very well designed watch and get excited about it, then I see that it has some random string of consonants across the dial. WTH is that? Even some of the manufacturers on AliExpress know that they suck at it because they'll give you the option of deleting the branding altogether! Again, it's like they don't even want to try.
Anyway, I think it's funny. But once they catch on, I think they'll do much better.
The watch that reviews itself 😅
It’s supposed to be transparent so…
Given the partially wooden construction, I think it is quite adequately named.

I wholeheartedly agree 👍.
